Padre Pio Arrives in Rome

I don't know the source of this brilliant cartoon, but it is too good not to share.

As I think you know, Francis' Year of Mercy has been a flop, vitually no pilgrims travelling to the Holy City.

The remedy? It was arranged to bring Padre Pio's body to Rome, which is guareenteed to swell the crowds.
